We could easily use [Empowered Fundraising] to build our pipeline for staffing our development office with our own talent. Brava.

What an excellent method for engage students through the summer! They can learn skills, launch a project for an organization from anywhere in the world, and expand their marketability and leadership skills.

The more I think about this course, the more I consider how important this skill set is to all students, particularly in a world where students are becoming less and less able to build human connections with the people around them. The skills you’re asking them to engage (active listening, eye contact, acknowledgment of purpose, etc.) are the ones that we talk about all the time in our schools because of the concerns we have about raising a generation so deeply entrenched in technology.

This course could help [our institution] build a pool of alumni who are already comfortable with asking for money. Even if they don’t give of their time, they would have an understanding of philanthropy and that would make solicitations that much easier.

Empowered fundraising is a game changer for independent schools. As we look ahead with the intention of graduating students who will be poised to make a mark on the world, I can’t think of a better tool than to have those students leave our institutions with an eye towards philanthropy. Participating in this course will help our students put their social justice beliefs into action, and it will give our institutions a network of alumni ready to get back to their alma maters.

Whether you want to build a culture of philanthropy within your student body or provide hands-on leadership program for your students, Empowered Fundraising has something for everyone.
